The left menu is very flexible, allowing you to get to administrations screens with fewer clicks and faster load times.

If you click on any of the section labels, you will be taken to the first screen of that section, and the menu section will expand to show the other options.

You don’t need to click through to a new screen in order to open a section though. Hover over the right part of the section and a triangle will appear.

The section will slide open without reloading the page or anything else in your browser. Notice how none of the screens in the opened section are highlighted, which would normally let you know that a screen was loaded on the page.

If you want to save some extra space in the interface and hide most of the menu system, click one of the separators that shows between some of the sections.

The menu will collapse to a single row of icons.

Hover over any of the icons and a popout will appear to show you any of the sub pages in a section. When you click on one, the appropriate screen will be loaded.

If you want to get the full menu back again, click one of the separators.
